Quilter's Blog-Hop Party with Give-Aways!

Happy 5th Anniversary to the Quilting Gallery and Michele Foster!!! To celebrate this anniversary, they are hosting a blog hop and give-away!! I LOVE give-aways, don't you?

Visit here to participate in the blog hop and share in all the fun and chances to win some goodies, or visit through the button on my sidebar!

I've chosen to give away a great pincushion, a Warren Kimble-style rabbit, made from felted wool. He measures 9"x10" and you can use him for a pincushions or just as a fun addition to your sewing area!

I have started thinking about sewing resolutions for 2013...after all it IS right around the corner! I would like to be more organized, and make more quilts for charity and also get more tops into finished quilts! For a chance to win my bunny, please leave me a comment and let me know if you have any quilty resolutions as well, or if there are new techniques you are thinking about trying for 2013. I am willing to ship internationally so this contest is open to all until Monday, December 17th 2012 when I will chose a random winner :)

Darling little bunny pincushion. Always good to set some new goals and really try to accomplish them. Every time I clean up my sewing room I can't seem to find anything! Maybe I work better in clutter.

This Bunny is soooo cute! My quilting resolutions for 2013 are to 1. Finish any new project I start (so as not to add to my unending UFO list), and 2. finish at least one big project that's been languishing on my UFO list for too long!

I dont have fabric now but when ido i donate my quilts to the neonatel intensive care and lap quilts to the physical therapy ward. I was there for over two months and know how hard it is to get around in a wheel chair with a sheet or blanket to cover your legs. They either slide out in the floor or get hung in the wheels babscorbitt@gmail.com

My quilty resolution for this next year is to do some smaller quilts and maybe even open up an etsy store. I'm a little leary about that as I know nothing about running a business but I willing to learn.

I loooove Warren Kimble and this bunny is too cute! As for quilting resolutions, every year I say I'm going to make lap quilts for the grand-nieces and nephews! This year I'm going to try my first QAYG lap quilt... may help with the resolution!

Your little bunny is adorable! My resolution is to make a list of all my projects...I don't think I'm brave enough to publish it, but I will put it somewhere in my sewing corner and get started in the new year!

My quilting resolution is to finish all the projects I started this year and find more quilt time for me! I hope you survived Sandy OK...my aunt lives in Huntington and they were in such shock(they're elderly) over the devastation along the Sound. Your rabbit is lovely :)

I have also been working on that organization piece of my sewing. And tonight as I was sewing some last minute gifts the need for this was confirmed...wasted more time looking for stuff than sewing stuff! LOLThe bunny is wonderful...he would match my collection of Warren Kimble furniture, dishes, etc... Thanks for the opportunity!

That is a gorgeous pincushion! I have a friend who has been taking care of her daughter who has 3 types of cancer who needs a really BIG pick me up. She is a rabbit collector. She would really enjoy receiving this! Please use my link to include her in the giveaway. If I were to win, Faith would receive the bunny.

I love organization but sometimes things do get upside down, especially when I am sewing on several projects at once. I keep a really neat home most of the time but once I was working on several things and my sewing room was in a really total mess (thank goodness it was upstairs - out of sight). My mother in law came by one day to see what I was working on and I told her she couldn't go up until the next day so I could clean up a bit. She kept on begging to go upstairs saying my house was always clean. I finally told her to go ahead. When she got to the top of the stairs she hollered out, "Thearica!!!". I laughed and said "I told you so!

I have set some aspirations for 2013 which include learning to knit something other than the regular afghan. I want to do some cross stitching (something I have not done in 12 years) and I also want to learn to paper piece! Paper piecing and I have a love/hate relationship...mostly hate! My blocks always come out wonky and hit the trashcan!

What a cute bunny!! I'm going to enter two art - quilt shows this year that I didn't enter last year. AND I'm not going to worry if I get in or not - I'm just going to keep doing my thing - the way I do it.

that bunny pincushion would be the hightlight of my pincushion collection... so cute. As for my quilty resolution would be to finish the 5 quilts I have in the works for my grankids and to increase the number of charity quilts I make for my charity group.

Love the bunny! I'm going to continue my last year's resolution - to get into my studio every day. Your site wouldn't let me join (maybe I'm already a member and I forgot?) but I'll try again. Hope I can still be in the drawing!
